Rain Delays Hit Major League Schedule
Thirteen postponements hit the Major League calendar with seven games scrubbed as rain fell over two days. The lone day game saw the Washington Senators defeat the St Louis Browns 4 to 1 behind homers by Gostin and Reeves. Garland Braxton yielded three hits and the Browns scored once in the first. The Senators collected four extra-base hits off Jack Ogden. Attendance reached about five hundred in a misty St Louis outing. In Pittsburgh, Bucknell received the Christy Mathewson Memorial gateway as Commissioner Landis lauded him as a national figure. Max Carey of the Robins faced a three-day suspension for protests after a 14-inning Pirates win. Carey, Pirates captain, disputed a ruling on Pie Traynor’s fly, triggering crowd unrest.
